Use ffmpegX. I suggest you reencode the whole VIDEO_TS folder though, not just the individual VOB files.

Good luck! :-)

I haven't tried using the converted file (.mpg and .avi files) in iMovie or iDVD yet. It works well with Flash but one thing though, QuickTime won't play it so it does follow I guess in iMovie.

even with any of the codecs used? what vid editing software can use the converted files so i can rbing them back to dvd format?
